The company’s management and consultants have examined all available geophysical, geochemical and drill data to evaluate the potential extension of mineralization from Barrick’s Montgomery-Shoshone open pit mine onto Bullfrog’s adjacent property.

Bullfrog’s initial exploration program includes further data acquisition, database development, geologic mapping, environmental permitting, and drilling/coring 25 holes.

Drilling is expected to begin in late 2012 on the company’s patent and claims next to the Montgomery-Shoshone pit wall, subject to environmental approvals.

According to Bullfrog, subsequent drilling will be based on the results of the first phase program, but will also expand onto other priority targets along structural trends on the company’s properties.
